EGG LAYING PRIZES
Fourteen States, One Canadian
Provinfce and England Entered
1000 Pallets of Five Breeds-
Best Hen Laid 283 Eggs.
WYANDOTTES IN SECOND
BASKETBALL
Storrs, Connecticut, Nov. 12—[Special]—The twelfth annual international egg laying contest at the Connecticut Agricultural college at
Storrs ia ended. For twelve months
100 pens of 10 pullets each have
striven to outlay each other, under
disinterested supervision and management. Fourteen States of the Union,
one Canadian province, and one foreign country, England, sent these
lOOfl pullets of five breeds to this
great competition. The five breeds
were Barred Rocks, White Rocks,
White Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds
and White Leghorns.
The contest closed with the highe.-t
Total production in the hb.v.'iy of laying trials at Storrs. The be.;', previous
record of 163,426 in 1917 was beaten
by 5000 eggs, and the averatre yield
lor the last eight years was topped
by over 10,000 eggs. This big increase in production was undoubtedly
flue to the use of electric lights in
thc laying pens for seven months of
the year. Hollywood Farm's pen of
White Leghorns from Hollywood,
Wash., were the banner birds. The
ten pullets in this pen laid a total of
*£*237 eggs or an average of over 223
eggs each. In the last four years
Hollywood hens, cempeting with 400
ether pens, have won two firsts, a
.-econd and a fourth.
220 Eggs Per Hen
During this time their iour pens.
consisting of forty birds have laid
«ST92 eggs or art average of 220 eggs
per hen, an exceedingly good record
for consistently good layinu-. At various times during the contest three
yens of White Wyandottes from
Rhode Island and England, two pens
of Leghorns from Long Island and
Maryland and Rhode Island Reds from
Massachusetts succeeded in heading
the Hollywood pen for thirty-nine
laps of the race, but in the last thirteen weeks there was apparently no
way \o stop the Western pen.
The following list shows the winning: breed at Storrs for the last ten
years:

TO BUILD TWO LAKES
The I.'hota allotment f.-oni Portage
street i.s to be beautified by the putting in of two lakes some time next
spring. It is more than likely that
this section of North Canton will 'be'
built up next summer. A number of
persons have visited the allotment
recently.
North Canton walloped L'artville in
:. one-sided game here on Friday
afternoon. 00-0. Despite the fact that
two of their best players were out
because of ineligibility ami one be-
cai-ve of injuries the boys showed the
best fight and teamwork that they
have yet exhibited. Capt. Willaman,
Shanafelt, Schick, Hagclbaiger, Fohl
and Shaeffer played then- last game
fur the high school, as all are sen-
!<))y, and fought as they never fought
before. Three other .seniors did not
play iu this game.
The honors werp pretty well divided. All the seniors from Capt.
Willaman on down did their best
w<!ik of the season. Sbanifelt. per-
nap:- more than the others, stood cii
as v. real star.
On defen.-'s as a tackle be stopp.'-l
'.•il plays and on offense be couldn't
he stopped, picking his openings and
following his interference in an uncanny fashion. Warstler and Warburton were almost unstopable and
on defense Mohler and Dieble stopped Hartville again and again.
The scoring was pretty well divided,
Willaman at quarterback giving
every one a chance to make a touchdown who played in the brickfield ami
a:' a result Mohler and Shanafelt
broke out the scoring column in addition to the others.
The seniors can indeed he proud of
their work in their last game of football for the high school. The coach
ran afford to feel satisfied with a
team which scored 170 points to their
opponents 20 during the entire season, while the school and town should
appreciate the work the boys have
gone through with in order to put
t ut a winninir team.
Outlook for Next Year
All hough nine out of a squad of
twenty-one will be giaduaieu in June,
Coach Adams is. confident that there
i.-, material in the sehool to turn out
a:, good oi- an even better football
team hero next year. It is expected
that next y-'.-a'-. more candidates will
come out for the team aril competition for the different positions will he
'illicit keener than it wa.-, Mis year.
\Vith '-uoh stars as Warstler, Warburton, Dieble, Mohler, Kolp and
SeJiiltz for a nucleus and with more
candidates coining out and new material coming into the high school the
outlook for next year is indeed
bright. .
In the veiy near future letters will
be awarded aiul a captain elected for
next year.

WYANDOTTES IN SECOND
BASKETBALL
Storrs, Connecticut, Nov. 12—[Special]—The twelfth annual international egg laying contest at the Connecticut Agricultural college at
Storrs ia ended. For twelve months
100 pens of 10 pullets each have
striven to outlay each other, under
disinterested supervision and management. Fourteen States of the Union,
one Canadian province, and one foreign country, England, sent these
lOOfl pullets of five breeds to this
great competition. The five breeds
were Barred Rocks, White Rocks,
White Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds
and White Leghorns.
The contest closed with the highe.-t
Total production in the hb.v.'iy of laying trials at Storrs. The be.;', previous
record of 163,426 in 1917 was beaten
by 5000 eggs, and the averatre yield
lor the last eight years was topped
by over 10,000 eggs. This big increase in production was undoubtedly
flue to the use of electric lights in
thc laying pens for seven months of
the year. Hollywood Farm's pen of
White Leghorns from Hollywood,
Wash., were the banner birds. The
ten pullets in this pen laid a total of
*£*237 eggs or an average of over 223
eggs each. In the last four years
Hollywood hens, cempeting with 400
ether pens, have won two firsts, a
.-econd and a fourth.
220 Eggs Per Hen
During this time their iour pens.
consisting of forty birds have laid
«ST92 eggs or art average of 220 eggs
per hen, an exceedingly good record
for consistently good layinu-. At various times during the contest three
yens of White Wyandottes from
Rhode Island and England, two pens
of Leghorns from Long Island and
Maryland and Rhode Island Reds from
Massachusetts succeeded in heading
the Hollywood pen for thirty-nine
laps of the race, but in the last thirteen weeks there was apparently no
way \o stop the Western pen.
The following list shows the winning: breed at Storrs for the last ten
